Cabinet And Countertop Layout - Dacor SGM304 Installation Instructions Manual

Cabinet and Countertop Layout

WARNING
• To reduce the risk of personal injury caused by
reaching over a hot appliance, avoid locating cabinet
storage space directly above the cooktop.
• Failure to meet or exceed the maximum and mini-
mum dimensions/clearances stated in these instruc-
tions may result in a fire hazard.
• Follow the countertop manufacturer's instructions
regarding the minimum corner radius, use of heat
reflective tape, reinforcement of corners, etc.
• Carefully check the location where the cooktop will be
installed. For best performance, the cooktop should be
placed away from drafts that may be caused by doors,
windows and heating and air conditioning outlets.
• This appliance is to be used in conjunction with a suit-
able vent hood or approved Dacor raised vent system.
All tolerances +1/16" (+1.6 mm), -0

* To allow clearance for hold down brackets
• The gas supply piping, gas shut-off valve and the elec-
trical outlet must be located so they do not interfere
with the cooktop when it is installed. If installing another
appliance in the cabinet below, allow for the routing of
gas and electrical service behind it.
The installation must allow for the following:
• Access to the gas shut-off valve and regulator when
the unit is installed.
• Access to the electrical outlet when the cooktop is in
place. The 40" (101.6 cm) power cord must be able to
reach the electrical outlet.
• Access to the underside of the cooktop for service and
inspection purposes.
• Clearance inside the cabinet to allow for proper hold
down bracket installation.
To allow access to the utilities and cooktop bottom, a fixed
shelf should not be installed below the cooktop. See the fol-
lowing pages for countertop cutout dimensions.
Raised Vent Compatibility
If installing the cooktop with a raised vent, install only the
approved Dacor model numbers specified below:
